Introduction: Uremia is a critical illness that develops from renal failure to the final stage, which brings great pain and life-threatening to patients, and the occurrence of this clinical syndrome is mainly due to irreversible damage to kidney function in the body caused by various kidney diseases.
Uremia is also clinically known as chronic renal failure, the incidence of this disease in China is increasing year by year, according to statistics, uremia patients in China from 27 in 201160,000 increased to 50 in 201610,000 people, and gradually showing a trend of younger people.
Relevant data surveys have found that 4 out of every 10 uremia patients are between the ages of 10 and 30, which shows that the proportion of young people suffering from uremia is increasing, which also reminds us to pay more attention to kidney health, early prevention and ** kidney disease.
Even so, the public awareness rate of chronic kidney disease is only 125%, which shows that many people lack sufficient awareness and attention to kidney disease.
Although kidney disease is so terrible, many friends in daily life still feel that uremia is still far away from them, however, when we have an unhealthy lifestyle in normal times, uremia is already preparing to "attack" us in the dark.
Therefore, we should not leave anything to chance, we should pay attention to kidney health, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and prevent kidney disease as soon as possible, only in this way can we better protect our physical health and avoid the occurrence of critical illnesses such as uremia.
The presence of foamy urine is not necessarily uremia, there are many causes of foamy urine, such as:
1.Substances contained in urine form foam under the action of surface tension, such as uric acid, urea, etc., these substances are also present in normal urine, so a slight foamy urine does not necessarily mean that there is an abnormality;
2.Urinary tract infections or inflammation, such as cystitis, urethritis, etc., may also cause increased foam in the urine
3.Other diseases such as diabetes, liver disease, etc. can also cause foamy urine.
However, if foamy urine persists with other symptoms such as edema, hypertension, fatigue, etc., it may be a sign of kidney disease and requires further testing to determine**.
In addition, even if uremia is diagnosed, there is not always a sign of foamy urine.
Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting
Gastrointestinal symptoms occur in the early stages of uremia, mainly due to toxin irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, and require a low-salt, low-fat diet and oral vitamin B6 to relieve them.
Smell of urine in your mouth
Urine smell in the mouth is also one of the early symptoms of uremia, mainly due to the increase in urea nitrogen levels in the body, so it is necessary to pay attention to oral hygiene and perform oral hygiene regularly.
Dizziness, headache
In the early stage of uremia, symptoms such as dizziness and headache will occur, mainly due to increased blood pressure, so it is necessary to control blood pressure, work and rest regularly, and ensure adequate sleep.
Increased nocturia
In the early stage of uremia, there will be symptoms of increased nocturia, mainly due to the decrease in the concentrating function of the kidneys, and it is necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion at this time.
Edema of the lower extremities
In the early stage of uremia, the symptoms of edema of the lower limbs will appear, mainly due to the retention of water and sodium in the body, so it is necessary to pay attention to a low-salt and low-fat diet and appropriately elevate the lower limbs.
Anemia
In the early stage of uremia, the symptoms of anemia will appear, mainly due to the decrease in the secretion of erythropoietin by the kidneys, and it is necessary to supplement hematopoietic raw materials such as iron and folic acid.
In recent years, uremia has shown a worrying trend of younger people, according to statistics, uremia patients aged 10 to 30 have accounted for about 40% of the total number of uremia patients, which indicates that more and more young people are facing the risk of kidney failure.
Clinical studies have shown that uremia patients generally have a heavy diet, and long-term high-salt and high-protein eating habits will bring a heavy burden to the kidneys.
When uric acid is formed after protein metabolism, these and other metabolic waste products can further damage the kidneys if there is a problem with kidney function itself, increasing the risk of uremia.
In addition, staying up late for a long time and fatigue are also important factors that lead to impaired kidney function, and these behaviors can reduce an individual's immunity and resistance, increasing the risk of kidney infections and uremia.
Some people hold urine for a long time due to work reasons, so that the bladder and kidneys are under high pressure for a long time, this behavior will also cause irreversible damage to the kidneys and may cause uremia problems.
[Don't wake up in the morning].
Don't hold your pee
In order to stay away from the threat of uremia, we need to pay attention to the health of the body and adopt some simple lifestyle habits to protect the kidneys, one of which is not to hold urine in the morning.
Holding urine can make urine stay in the bladder for too long, increasing the chance of bacteria breeding, which may retrograde infection of the kidneys, causing diseases such as urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis, long-term repeated urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis can damage kidney function, which may eventually lead to the occurrence of uremia.
Therefore, when we feel the urge to urinate in the morning, we should urinate in time and do not hold urine, which not only helps to prevent kidney diseases such as urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis, but is also an important measure for kidney health.
Don't eat too salty
Staying away from uremia is a concern for everyone, to protect their kidneys, we must first start with diet, here we want to remind everyone, don't eat too salty in the morning, because it will bring a great burden to the kidneys.
Many people have heavy tastes and like to eat some salty food, and in our country, many people will eat it with some small pickles at breakfast. However, such a diet can put a lot of stress on the kidneys.
Because when you wake up in the morning, the kidney function has not fully recovered, if you consume too much salt, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, and if this is the case for a long time, the risk of kidney disease will increase, and it may even cause uremia.
Two insistence at night].
Insist on not smoking and drinking alcohol
Insisting on not smoking and drinking at night is very important for kidney health, because the kidneys need to be fully rested and recovered at night, and if you often smoke and drink at night, it will cause a serious burden on the kidneys and even lead to impaired kidney function.
Smoking and alcohol abuse are both risk factors for kidney health, the harmful substances in tobacco can directly damage kidney cells, leading to a decline in kidney function, while excessive alcohol consumption will lead to an increased burden on the liver and kidneys, causing a series of health problems.
In order to protect kidney health, it is recommended that everyone avoid smoking and alcohol at night, and at the same time, we should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as regular work and rest, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, etc., these good lifestyle habits can help reduce the burden on the kidneys and prevent the occurrence of kidney disease.
Keep exercising
Exercising at night has an important role in promoting kidney health, exercise can promote the body's metabolism and blood circulation, thereby improving cell activity and body immunity, which is very beneficial to kidney health.
Proper exercise can reduce the burden on the kidneys, promote blood circulation inside the kidneys, help the kidneys eliminate metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, and at the same time, exercise can also regulate the body's endocrine system, which is conducive to the normal function of the kidneys.
In contrast, sitting for a long time will lead to a decrease in the body's metabolism and slowing down blood circulation, which will increase the burden on the kidneys, so in order to protect kidney health, we should try to avoid sitting for a long time and increase the amount of exercise appropriately.
Eat a balanced diet
Maintaining a balanced diet is essential for the health of your kidneys. Reducing your intake of foods high in salt, sugar, fat, and protein, and increasing your intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat protein can help maintain proper kidney function.
Drink plenty of fluids
Maintaining adequate water intake can help dilute urine, increase urine output, help eliminate metabolic waste and toxins, and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and stone formation, water intake varies from individual to individual, but drinking enough water every day is beneficial for kidney health.
Control blood pressure and blood sugar
High blood pressure and diabetes are major risk factors for kidney disease, regular monitoring and control of blood pressure and blood sugar levels can help reduce the risk of kidney damage, and it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and maintaining a normal weight.
Regular physical examinations and monitoring
Regular kidney function tests, including blood and urine tests, can help with early detection and early detection of potential kidney problems, and more frequent tests are recommended if there are risk factors or a family history of kidney disease.
Urinalysis
Urine routine examination is one of the important means to evaluate kidney function, under normal circumstances, there should be a large number of abnormal indicators such as protein, red blood cells, and white blood cells in the urine.
If urinalysis is normal, it usually indicates that there is no significant inflammation, bleeding or proteinuria in the kidneys.
Renal function tests
Renal function tests include the measurement of blood creatinine, urea nitrogen and other indicators, which are used to evaluate the excretory function of the kidneys, if these indicators are within the normal range, it means that the kidneys can normally eliminate metabolic waste and excess water, and there are no obvious problems such as renal insufficiency or uremia.
Renal ultrasonography
Renal ultrasound examination can observe whether the shape, size, and structure of the kidney are normal, and whether there are abnormal lesions such as stones and cysts.
Medications**
Drugs are the basis of uremia, the main purpose is to regulate the balance of water and electrolytes through drugs, reduce the burden on the kidneys, control symptoms such as hypertension and anemia, commonly used drugs include diuretics, antihypertensive drugs, erythropoietin, etc.
Dialysis**
Dialysis** is one of the common methods of uremia**, mainly through hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis and other ways to remove excess water and toxins from the body to maintain life, dialysis ** can prolong the survival of patients and improve the quality of life.
Kidney transplant
Kidney transplantation is one of the best options for uremia**, which fundamentally solves the problem of uremia by transplanting a healthy kidney to replace the diseased kidney, and the success of kidney transplantation depends on factors such as the quality of the donor kidney, the patient's physical condition, and post-operative care.
Uremia can be caused by a variety of causes, including chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, etc., some of which are genetically predisposed, such as chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy.
This means that if there are family members with these diseases, the risk of uremia may increase in the next generation.
In addition, genetic factors also determine how each person's kidneys respond differently to damage, with some people being more susceptible to kidney damage and others being more capable of kidney repair.
Therefore, if there is a family member with uremia or related kidney disease, it is advisable to have regular medical check-ups for early detection and ** kidney problems.
